RESIDENCE  HALLS 
AT  THE 

UNIVERSITY  OF  NOTRE  DAME 

The  University  provides  board  and  lodging  for  all 
the  faculty  and  students  in  its  own  buildings  on 
the  campus.  This  arrangement  draws  professors  and 
students  into  close  social  contact  and  forms  an  ideal 
college  community. 

There  are  two  modes  of  student  life  at  Notre  Dame 
— the  common  room  system  and  the  private  room  sys¬ 
tem.  Each  has  special  advantages.  In  the  common 
room  system  the  students  study  in  a  large  assembly 
room  under  constant  supervision  of  a  member  of  facul¬ 
ty.  They  sleep  in  a  high-ceilinged,  well  ventilated 
common  dormitory  where  the  beds  are  screened  by 
curtains  to  secure  privacy.  Lavatories  are  provided 
with  stationary  wash-stands  having  hot  and  cold  run¬ 
ning  water,  to  each  student  being  assigned  a  locker 
for  toilet  articles.  Recreation  rooms  are  furnished 
with  billiard  tables  and  pianos.  Facilities  for  bath¬ 
ing — shower,  needle  and  tub  baths  and  a  swimming 
pool  23  x  57  feet — are  arranged  in  the  University 
natatorium  directly  in  the  rear  of  the  lavatories.  The 
common  room  system  is  especially  adapted  to  young 
men  who  have  not  formed  fixed  habits  of  study  or 
whose  general  character  is  not  well  moulded.  One 
year  of  this  manner  of  living  is  strongly  recommended 
for  all  students  by  the  University  administration.

UNIVERSITY  OF  NOTRE  DAME 


F’or  the  private  room  system  the  University  has 
four  Residence  Halls  known  as  Old  College,  Sorin, 
Corby  and  Walsh.  These  form  part  of  the  group  of  the 
University  buildings,  within  short  distances  of  one  an¬ 
other  all  on  the  campus.  Cement  walks  lead  from  one 
building  to  another.  The  Residence  Halls  are  construct¬ 
ed,  as  are  the  other  buildings,  of  cream  colored  brick 
and  stone  trimmings.  Each  Hall  contains  ample  facili¬ 
ties  for  resisting  fire,  and  all  are  provided  with  devices 
for  escaping  from  a  burning  building.  A  night  watch¬ 
man  within  the  buildings  regularly  patrols  these 
Halls,  and  another  does  duty  around  them  on  the 
outside.  No  oil  lamps,  candles  or  any  artificial 
lights  other  than  electric  are  allowed  in  rooms,  and 
smoking  in  the  rooms  is  also  forbidden.  The  Halls  are 
lighted  throughout  by  electricity  and  heated  by  steam. 

The  Residence  Halls  vary  in  size.  The  average 
floor  space  in  single  bedrooms  is  8.6  x  13.9.  There 
are  a  number  of  double  rooms  in  each  Hall.  In  Walsh 
Hall  most  of  the  rooms  in  the  front  of  the  building  are 
in  suites,  a  suite  consisting  of  a  bedroom,  study  and 
bath.  The  ceilings  are  ten  feet  high.  All  the  rooms 
have  outsidje  light  and  exposure.  There  are  baths 
and  toilet  rooms  in  all  the  Halls,  and  each  has  recre¬ 
ation  rooms  for  general  use,  in  which  are  billiard 
tables  and  pianos. 

The  following  furniture  is  provided  for  the  rooms ; 
chairs,  table,  book-shelf,  wash-stand,  bowl,  pitcher, 
soap-dish,  ward-robe,  bedside  rug,  iron  bed  with  spring 
mattress,  hair  mattress,  pillow,  double  woolen  blanket, 
quilt,  bed-linen  and  counterpane.  In  double  rooms 
there  are  three  chairs  and  double  the  number  of  other 
articles.  Students  are  at  liberty  to  add  any  other 
article  of  furniture  they  may  desire  at  their  own  cost. 


RESIDENCE  HALLS 


ADMISSION 

The  University  reserves  all  rights  in  the  assign¬ 
ment  of  rooms  and  shall  determine  when  they  must 
be  vacated.  Choice  of  room-mates  must  receive  the 
sanction  of  the  University  officers.  An  accumulation 
of  300  demerits  for  violation  of  house  rules  or  the  gen¬ 
eral  rules  of  the  University,  any  single  serious  breach 
of  discipline  or  continued  lax  of  habits  of  study  will 
lead  to  the  forfeiture  of  rooms.  Rooms  will  be  ready 
for  occupancy  on  the  Monday  preceding  the  opening 
of  the  academic  year,  and  must  be  vacated  on  the  Sat¬ 
urday  following  the  annual  Commencement. 

Definite  application  for  the  reservation  of  rooms 
should  be  made  on  May  1  on  application  blanks,  a 
form  which  will  be  found  on  page  23.  Later  appli¬ 
cations  will  be  acted  on  in  case  rooms  have  not  been 
called  for.  No  reservation  will  be  made  unless  the 
application  is  accompanied  by  a  fee  of  fifteen  dollars, 
which  is  demanded  as  an  earnest  of  good  intention. 
This  fee  will  be  applied  toward  defraying  the  charge 
for  rental  in  case  the  student  occupies  the  room ;  it  will 
be  forfeited  by  the  applicant  if  for  any  reason  what¬ 
ever  he  fails  to  occupy  his  room  on  the  latest  date 
open  for  reservations.  No  rooms  will  be  held  longer 
than  the  date  set  for  the  opening  of  classes. 

Graduate  students  and  those  of  junior  and  senior 
standing  and  such  sophomore  students  as  can  be  accom¬ 
modated  are  assigned  to  Old  College  and  Sorin  Hall. 
All  sophomores  who  cannot  be  provided  with  rooms  in 
Sorin  reside  in  Corby  Hall.  No  room  rental  is  charged

to  students  of  these  four  classes,  the  four  hundred  dol¬ 
lar  charge  for  board,  lodging,  laundry  and  tuition 
covering  the  rent  of  a  room  for  an  academic  year. 
However,  these  upperclassmen  may  secure  rooms  in 
Walsh  by  paying  the  difference  between  the  rate  for 
a  single  room  and  the  increased  charges  for  room 
rental  in  Walsh,  due  to  greater  convenience  and  more 
elegant  surroundings.  A  nominal  charge  of  fifteen 
dollars  to  cover  the  expense  of  the  care  of  a  room  for 
one  year  is  made  to  all  upperclassmen.  A  special 
rate  is  made  to  freshmen.  Attention  is  called 

to  the  fact  that  only  those  students  who  have 
completed  all  the  preparatory  studies  —  who  have 
“no  conditions” — are  entitled  to  the  freshman  rate. 
Similarly  only  “unconditioned”  sophomores  get  rooms 
free. 

RULES 

All  students  living  in  Residence  Halls  are  sub¬ 
ject  to  the  disciplinary  regulations  of  the  University. 
Failure  to  observe  these  rules  entails  demerits  which 
are  imposed  according  to  the  gravity  of  the  offence. 
For  violation  of  the  special  regulations  for  the  good 
order  and  safety  in  Residence  Halls  demerits  are  also 
given.  When  a  student  has  reached  three  hundred 
demerits  he  forfeits  his  room.  The  use  of  intoxicating 
liquors  will  lead  in  every  case  to  the  forfeiture  of  a 
room. 

Each  student  will  be  responsible  for  the  furniture 
and  the  general  condition  of  his  room.  Any  damage 
will  be  charged  to  him. 

Meals  are  not  permitted  in  the  rooms.  When 
students  are  sick  they  will  be  cared  for  in  the  Univer¬ 
sity  Infirmary. 


RESIDENCE  HALLS 


RATES 

The  rental  charged  for  rooms,  which  are  all  pro¬ 
vided  with  the  necessary  furniture  enumerated  above, 
covers  one  academic  year  and  includes  heat,  lights, 
the  care  of  the  room,  laundry  of  bed-linens  and  towels 
and  service  of  bed  linens. 

The  prices  are  governed  by  the  size  of  the  rooms, 
exposure  and  location. 

The  location  of  the  rooms  may  be  ascertained  by 
reference  to  the  numbers  on  the  floor  plans.  The 
initial  number  of  the  room  indicates  the  floor  on  which 
it  is  located. 

No  rental  is  charged  for  rooms  in  Old  College  or 
Sorin  Hall,  in  which  upperclassmen  reside.  A  fee  of 
$15.00  for  service  must  be  paid  in  advance  by  all 
students  residing  in  Old  College  or  Sorin  Hall  and  by 
sophomores  who  live  in  Corby  Hall. 

Suites  for  one  student  consist  of  a  study,  a  bed¬ 
room  and  a  bath;  those  for  two  students  are  com¬ 
posed  of  one  large  study,  two  bedrooms  and  a  bath; 
suites  for  four  students  comprise  two  large  studies, 
one  double  and  two  single  bedrooms  and  a  bathroom. 

Each  room  in  the  suites  has  a  door  leading  to  the 
corridor.  The  larger  suites,  may,  therefore,  be  divided 
into  single  and  double  rooms  and  into  suites  for  one 
student.  Prices  for  rooms  thus  separated  may  be  as¬ 
certained  by  applying  to  the  Secretary  of  the  University. 

Some  few  of  the  large  rooms  listed  as  single 
rooms  may  be  occupied  by  two  students.  When  this 
arrangement  is  made  an  additional  charge  of  $15.00 
for  service  is  annexed  to  the  price  of  the  room. 

The  regulations  governing  the  payment  of  Resi¬ 
dence  Hall  fees  are  the  same  as  those  that  apply  to 


s 


UNIVERSITY  OP  NOTRE  DAME 


tuition  fees. Payment  shall  be  made  in  advance  of  occu¬ 
pancy.  A  deposit  of  $15.00  must  be  made  when  a 
reservation  of  a  room  is  demanded.  This  amount  is 
deducted  from  the  rental  when  the  student  takes  pos¬ 
session.  It  will  be  forfeited  if  for  any  reason  a  student 
fails  to  take  the  room  assigned  to  him.
